Just being able to walk aboard and browse around is awesome enough, veterans who served onboard the Iowa guide the tours and have great stories to tell.

I retired from the Navy in 2005. If I had went on the ship, it would have been ok! We took the tour, Gary was great. He made the ship come alive! We had a great time on the ship because of the tour!!!! 20.00 per person more seems like a lot, but it was worth every penny! Thank you Gary!

Amazing tour of American history. Nice walk about the ship. Wonderful stories of courage & valor. About 2 hours is plenty and worth the price of admission. Fun afternoon.

We had a great Presidents Tour with Adam! Very knowledgeable! It was interesting to learn about the ship's history & exploring the various decks. Highly recommend if coming to the area.

My 11 and 15 year old had a blast. I highly recommend for families. It was a nice day and we all learned a lot.

We truly enjoyed our trip to the Battleship Iowa. Spent a little over two hours touring and exploring the vessel in the areas allowed. I definitely recommend a visit to this ship. I will return for a third time.

We love a ship tour, and this one didn't disappoint. There was a friendly welcome and an easy tour to follow, with plenty of stops along the way and interesting details to take in. There's a scavenger hunt for kids and a spot for sodas/hot dogs. Decent, if a bit expensive, shop. Definitely worth two hours and a great stop if you are going to/from a cruise ship. They do have luggage storage if you need it!

A great day for our family. Enjoyed the extra input and tour of Presidential quarters. Easy to get to and enjoyed walking to eat nearby afterwards.

A visit to any historical US Navy ship should not be passed up. The USS Iowa visit was an experience to be remembered. The people tending to the visit very courteous and friendly. The self conducted tour was fun and interesting and we could spend as much time as wanted without any pressure to move on.
